Description

  The present invention is based on the underlying digitization that is also being realized in the printing industry. Terms for manufacturing machines in the printing industry, such as, for example, "Print 4.0" or "Web to Print" relate to Industry 4.0 (the fourth industrial revolution). A platen (Auflaengrose) = 1 can be processed by the production machine without any loss of quality. In order for such a manufacturing machine to be able to meet these demands, there may be a communication flow towards a higher-level system that continuously provides the necessary control / adjustment data. is necessary. These manufacturing machines are therefore configured such that the necessary adjustments {on-the-fly} are performed for each manufacturing cycle.

  The invention therefore relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1, which is formed in particular as a binding machine and which consists mainly of a transport chain formed in the form of a roof, in particular a device formed by a signature. One or more printed products can be transported in a horse-riding manner along the transport chain, collected and optionally bound in an intermediate binding station.

  This method of transport is also used for unbound, aligned print products, which can also be in the form of a collection of signatures. The signatures are conveyed along a transport chain, which is generally formed as a collecting chain, to a stop and from which they are then passed via at least one feeding device, also referred to as a "paper output device". The signature is further guided to a cutting device, in which the signature or a temporary binding book processed from the signature is cut according to the format.

  In this case, according to the present invention, the print product is delivered in synchronization with the paper discharge device. At the same time, the delivery device is likewise precisely adjusted in time for different thicknesses of such printed products. As a result, underwriting and further transfer of the print product are coordinated separately.

The most important terms used in this application:
Signature (whole sheet): A signature is an intermediate product of a printed sheet (double-sided printed paper), and is composed of a plurality of whole sheets.

  Temporary binding book: A temporary binding book is a print product consisting of at least one or more signatures.

  Staples: The staples take this shape in the first step

, And penetrates through the temporary binding book and can be bent continuously

.

  Stapling head: The stapling head cuts and positions the staple wire and forms the staple wire into staples.

  Binding operation: A binding operation is an operation in which at least one staple pierces a temporary binding book and is closed at another end.

  Binding carriage: The binding carriage is a part of the binding station, on which the stapling head is mounted.

  Binding station: The binding station staples the product while the binding carriage is in synchronous operation with the transport chain.

  Product: The product consists of at least one signature, which is processed into a bound book.

  Thickness variable: Thickness variable refers to the storage of bound pages and / or full paper sections having different thicknesses.

  Cutting device: A cutting device is a cutting system that uses one front blade member and two horizontal blade members, and performs a cutting process consisting of continuous cutting, a fore edge cutting and a top cutting.

  Binder: In a binder, usually a plurality of signatures are collected on a transport chain, bound in a binding station and cut into three sheets in a cutting device.

  Collection chain: The collection chain has a guide device, the upper section of the device is shaped like a blade, and the cutting edge of this device fixes the transport section and the staple line, and is essentially a roof. And the entire paper portion is transported in a horse-riding manner on the platform.

  Paper ejection device: The paper ejection device is a mechanical component that conveys a product that has passed through a binding station to a feeding unit that leads to a cutting device. In the sheet discharge device, a regular change of the transport direction is performed forward or backward depending on the stationary position of the cutting device.

  Product feeding unit: The product feeding unit is a conveyor belt that transfers the product that has passed through the sheet discharging device into the cutting device. The conveyor belt has mechanical stops which move synchronously with the cutting device.

  Discharge phase (Auswerfase), dispensing (auswerfen): A device called an ejector (Auswerfer) collects the product until it is caught by a conveyor belt in the discharge device and further conveyed in the discharge device. Lifted off the chain.

  On-the-fly: "On-the-fly" means that, for example, setting of equipment and the like and position change are possible during operation.

  Management Information System (MIS): In relation to the concept “Industry 4.0”, in the printing industry, “Finishing 4.0”, “Print 4.0” or “Web to Print” Print) "is already known. Basically, it means the conversion of digital format between IT domain and manufacturing technology. In order to solve these problems, a management information system (Management-Information-System) is required.

  With conventional solutions, the thickness is not adjusted in the printed product. The thickness of the product is captured via a flexible belt intended for elastic action. A disadvantage here is that the receiving position guided by the paper discharge device varies with different product thicknesses. Thus, thicker print products are detected earlier, whereas thinner print products are detected later. Thus, the horizontal position in the direction of the collection chain changes according to the product thickness.

  Another known solution consists in that the second input roller can be reciprocated by a pivot arm while the first input roller is set stationary. Thereby, adaptation to the respective printed product can be achieved to some extent. Here, in the case of a jam or other accident, only The second roller can only be fully opened during the "on the fly" operation. The disadvantage of this solution is that the V-shaped part of the entrance is off-center. The disadvantage is that the center of the V-shaped part does not always coincide with the center of the collecting chain or the blade of the ejector. This requires that the blade of the ejector, which is operatively connected to the paper ejection device, be present in a horizontal position (perpendicular to the collection chain). As a result, a further drawback arises in that the front and back of the printed product cannot be simultaneously fitted into the plurality of conveyor belts of the delivery device.

  U.S. Pat. No. 4,164,159 discloses a facility in which the transport device 26 (FIG. 3) has a lifting blade 36 which is moved from a return position (FIG. 5) inside the saddle member 18 to a discharge position (FIG. 3). It is. When the lifting blade moves upward to the carry-out position, as shown in FIG. 3, the lifting blade moves the folded edge of the print product 40 to a plurality of supply rollers 44 and a plurality of rotatable rollers. It is lifted upward into the gap 43 (FIGS. 2 and 3) formed between the roller segment 46 and the roller segment 46. To apply a pinching force on opposite sides of the print product, to fix and hold the print product, and to form the print product between a plurality of pressing rollers 52 and a plurality of supply rollers 44; These roller segments 46 cooperate with the supply rollers 44 to move upwardly towards the second gap 50. The pressing roller 52 and the supply roller 44 apply a gripping force to opposing side surfaces of the signature when the printing product moves upward from the saddle-shaped member 18 to grip the printing product. It is valid.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,164,159

The present invention provides a comprehensive alternative for this. The invention is based on the task of fulfilling the following criteria, which are relevant to the subject of the invention, as characterized in the claims. That is:
1) Positioning: The printed product is uniquely defined in a horizontal position with respect to the transport direction (collection chain).
2) Stopping of the printed product: at the kinetic energy (remanence-velocity) which may still be present in the transport direction, this energy is completely canceled in the immediate area of the stop.
3) Stabilization: The printed product is stabilized in the discharge device during the ejection phase, i.e. possible tilting and / or tipping moments are received or suppressed by the occupied position of the stop.
It is an object of the present invention to adjust a plurality of carry-in rollers of a paper discharge device according to the respective measured thickness of a printed product, even in each production cycle as required.

Therefore, the following points are achieved:
a) The movement of the plurality of loading rollers is performed symmetrically.
b) The adjustment is automated so that manual gripping is no longer required.
c) The controller, which completely adjusts the carry-in roller to the thickness of each print product present, sets a corresponding signal to the actuator. These actuators can be configured as electric motors, servomotors, hydraulically or pneumatically driven drives, and the like. In this case, safety measures are taken to detect thickness variations for each individual printed product. In this case, this detection also includes a correction to perform {on the fly}.

  In this case, all the criteria underlying this task span the entire speed range of the implementation of the installation, the overall format and thickness of the printed product and the nature of the paper material of which the individual signatures are made.

  The object of the invention is achieved in that the equipment of this installation operates interdependently.

The formed printing product or the binding book (see definition list) formed from the printing product is seated on a saddle-shaped collection chain (see definition list) and transported in the stopper direction. Between the stapler and the paper output device (see definition list), before reaching the stop, the entraining members incorporated in the collecting chain are folded back, these entraining members acting at the trailing edge of the signature, And in an operative connection with the collecting chain, a precise transport of the signature is ensured, so that the entrainment member can then slide further under the signature with the continuation of the collecting chain.
In this way, the printed product thus formed can be further transported in the final transport phase to a stop only by friction or a resting force induced by the saddle-shaped collecting chain, and no longer guided together by the entrainer. Is realized. It is also important in this case that the printed product expands and opens in this final phase, i.e. between the stapler and the output device, by the induced kinematics, so that the folded entrainment member is Can pass without problems under the same printed product. This is especially true even if the printed product has to stagnate during the delivery operation.

Regarding the stopper: First, the automatically adjustable stopper is operated. This stopper is suitably positioned horizontally, in particular parallel to the transport direction, by an electric motor (usually a servomotor). This position is determined by the control profile executed in the main controller. In this case, such a position can be appropriately changed even in the case of each printed product formed of the type to be conveyed. In this case, such a positioning of the stopper depends on important parameters which are continuously transmitted to the main controller. That is, the following parameters:
a) the signature or printed product format size b) the speed of the machine c) the possible offset manually entered In addition, the paper jams are immediately recognized and the appropriate used to protect the machine A sensor capable of initiating a safety measure addressing this is incorporated in the immediate vicinity of this stopper or is incorporated in this stopper. Therefore, a jam switch, a camera system, a photoelectric cell, and the like are installed. In addition, sensors are provided as feedback for controlling the position of the printed product, in particular in the form of photocells, camera systems and the like.

  In this case, the stopper has a multiplex function for the final positioning of the signature or the bound book or the printed product, that is to say that it has a constant nominal value for the printed product to be conveyed as a final point. Achieve a fixed stopper position. However, this is not only the conventional method as a solid stopper station. In other words, rather than being transported to the fixed stop wall in a horizontal transport operation, the printed product is then completely stopped there, rather than being transported to the paper ejection device by a further dynamic transition into the delivery device. In addition, it also serves as an alignment aid for the leading edge of the printed product against tilting or rollover. In this way, the stopper fulfills a dual function by means of a special form of formation and in an operative connection with the controlled transport of the printed product, the function being that in the immediate area of the stopper, the horizontal / vertical movement of the printed product. It is characterized by layered motion.

  These layered movements must be interpreted as follows: On the other hand, there is a horizontal movement (signature or bookbinding) of the printed product preset by the collection chain and the kinematics of this printed product. The energy is then completely and abruptly extinguished by the stopper, but shortly before the impact by the stopper, and the auxiliary means of the locally acting delivery device and the operatively connected ejector. The print product is caught and removed from the collection chain.

  During the interval time proceeding towards zero, the printed product which is further transported in the horizontal direction still has a minimized remanent magnetic speed in the horizontal direction, this speed being satisfied by the final match which is satisfied and subsequently by the discharge To achieve a sliding of the leading edge of the printed product, which slide is along the wall of the stopper. The dynamic adaptable positioning of the stoppers occupied therefrom is also conditioned on the printed products drawn at any time, depending on the speed.

  Said sliding along the leading edge of the signature or of the book binding may cause a possible tilting of the printed product during a practical printed product transition conditioned by the dynamics of the delivery. This does not happen, so that the printed product shows perfect format alignment in subsequent truncation.

  Thereby, in the final phase of the positioning of the printed product, a coordinated, control-guided interdependence is between the horizontal movement of the printed product and the vertical transition of the printed product, after which, as already explained, The stopper performs a dual function. That is, on the one hand, it guarantees the final position of the drawn product, and on the other hand, prevents possible tilting of the printed product during vertical operation. Thus, the stopper can receive the recoil and lead to a turning moment acting on the printed product, which can cause the printed product to tilt. These processes are operatively connected to a blade member as a component of the ejector arranged below the collection chain. These components are described in further detail below.

In other words, the clock process has the following form:
a)-In setting up the job, the stopper is moved to the correct position, depending on various parameters such as format format, speed, etc.
b) Such positioning of the stopper can be performed continuously even during unloading.
c) The stopper is monitored during operation by sensors (such as photocells, camera systems, etc.) and, if necessary, is post-adjusted via the control "on the fly" (see definition list).

  The setting of the stopper position and the continuous process monitoring are carried out, in particular, by means of a stored control profile, and the main controller can guide the adjustment according to the applicable principles. In addition, the main controller can provide comprehensive pratictive / anticipiable adjustments for all equipment of the facility.

The advantages of such a stopper are as follows:
a) Perfect setting (see definition list) is provided for each printed product, especially by the autonomous drive of the stopper (servo motor), by "On-the-Fly" operation.
b) The occupied practical stop position depends mainly on the format of the signatures that have been drawn or on the format of the booklet or on the speed of the collection chain. The occupied implementation stop position is provided controllably or continuously adjustable according to the stored control profile, as described above.
c) The position of the stopper is continuously adjusted in "On-the-Fly" operation, due to the continuous response of the sensors, such as photocells, camera systems, etc.
d) the stopper receives a recoil of the printed product, which can lead to a overturning moment of the printed product, whereby the signature, the bound book, or the printed product is generally executed by a paper output device. During the unloading, it is ensured that the position depends on the maximized format and that the correct position can be achieved.
e) The stopper essentially defines the horizontal final position of the product relative to the ejection (also called ejection) induced by the paper ejection device, the final position being the output format of the signature (minimum / maximum). Format-independent, that is to say that it is always strictly oriented in order to ensure that the discharge is always in the middle for the working auxiliary means of the delivery device formed in particular by the conveyor belt.
f) The stopper is implemented with sensors that respond directly or indirectly, which sensors are tuned for jam monitoring and which detect such jam monitoring early and intervene with interpolating adjustments. The damage to the equipment can be prevented or the time for fault elimination can be reduced continuously.

B. Regarding the ejector: The second device relates to an ejector that carries out a signature / bookbinding book, a printed product by a blade incorporating a printed product according to the following criteria.
Aspect I: First, the blade-like member, which is driven directly or indirectly by a motor, remains in the neutral position (“Pos. Null”) under the sheet discharging device. Here, as a component of the ejector, the blade-like member waits for the arrival of a command “Trigger” for inducing motion kinematics. Accordingly, the ejector initiates a unique operation in the "Trigger" position to shift the printed product into the output device as unchanged as possible. This trigger point depends on the product format, on the speed of the collection chain, and in some cases on manual corrections, since a defined or always freely definable speed threshold is above or below. . This leads to whether the subsequent phase II or phase III is started.
Aspect II: The speed of the ejector is directed above the speed threshold by the speed of the collection chain or the speed of the conveyor belt of the delivery device belonging to the delivery device. That is, as the speed of the collection chain is increased, the ejector (blade) moves upwards accordingly. If the speed of the collection chain is reduced, the ejector will necessarily move slower.
Aspect III: Below the speed threshold, the movement course is unchanged. Thus, the minimum speed of the ejector is defined to guarantee the movement of the printed product to the output conveyor belt.

With respect to the stroke operation of the ejector, the following positioning must be distinguished.
a) Meanwhile, the ejector moves to a point called “Pos. Oben”. This “Pos.Oven” is the upper turning point of the blade, from which the position “Pos.Unten” is aimed at a defined or always freely definable speed.
b) "Pos. Unten" is the turning point below the blade, from which the position "Pos. Null" is aimed at a defined or always freely definable speed.

  Accordingly, the blade as a component of the ejector takes three fixed positions, which are of a predefined length or are always freely defined. That is, "Pos. Oben" is the highest position of the blade, and this position likewise forms a turning point of the blade, at which point the signature is moved to the conveyor belt of the delivery. Is completed. "Pos. Unten" is the lowest point as a turning point of the blade, i.e., the blade is lowered to this position on the collection chain so as not to collide with the subsequent drawn print product. . "Pos. Null" indicates a neutral position from which the blade begins to function in the next printed product.

The advantages described here for the operation of the blade and the ejector are mainly expressed as follows, which also form an integral component of the present invention.
a) Work with dynamic, variable discharge times.
b) Dynamically changeable profiles are continuously calculated by the main controller or entered by means of preset charts, and these values are dynamically controlled / adjusted by stored control profiles or algorithms. Supported for.
c) Ongoing adjustments supported by the optical measurement intervene, which directly lead to correct corrections or practive control.
d) In addition, the ejection profile is shaped so as to be modifiable by the "On-the-Fly" dynamics.
e) The control / regulation of the entire process via all the included aggregates is calculated by calculating the thickness and format of the printed sheets (signatures) and continuously on the transport chain (collection chain). Done continuously by speed.
f) If necessary, a freely selectable profile is implemented, which operates completely independently of other parameters such as, for example, the collection chain speed or the discharge conveyor belt speed.
g) The start / stop ramp operates freely programmable, adaptable and adjustable to the situation.
h) The included aggregates of the facility allow it to be reprogrammed into a non-linear operating process.

  C. With regard to devices capable of adjusting the thickness of the printed product: According to the invention, the equipment is expanded by means of a device having a mechanism for adjusting the thickness of the printed product that is also discharged in each cycle.

  The starting point forms a detection of the thickness of the printed product to be conveyed, ie to be unloaded. In this case, the controller is configured such that these thicknesses can potentially or actually vary from one production cycle to the next or different. Therefore, a difference in thickness, which is important for detecting a printed product by the paper discharging device, is continuously detected during a job. A preset tolerance is taken into account by the control device. The thickness distribution can be managed preferably by MIS (see definition list). In this case, the thickness of the printed product itself can also be calculated from the number of signatures and the thickness of these signatures.

  If the thickness of the printed product is measured directly, it is advantageous if the thickness measurement has been performed before binding or, if necessary, before. The detection of the thickness of the printed product is based on the fact that the respective measured thickness of the printed product is detected symmetrically on the one hand with respect to the center of the collecting chain and on the other hand with respect to the center of the blade belonging to the ejector. .

  An important aspect of the invention therefore relates to a symmetrical alignment on the one hand with respect to the center of the collecting chain and on the other hand with respect to the center of the blade belonging to the ejector. This adjustment is performed continuously, in particular by an electric motor, usually a servomotor. A symmetric adjustment to the measured thickness of the printed product is performed by the electric motor. This is effected by the fact that two symmetrically supported pivoting arms are respectively operated on both sides of the carry-in area of the delivery device. In this case, when the open leg associated with the printed product is performed according to the measured thickness, each pair of swivel arms causes a predetermined "double cam plate" for the printed product to be detected. Moved to position.

  This cam plate is rotated by a predetermined angle by a toothed belt. As a result, the cam plate generates an opening that induces a predetermined opening degree by the new angular position. A plurality of swing arms arranged in pairs extend vertically and in parallel with each other in a normal state, and the pivot support portions are arranged such that end portions of the plurality of swing arms face the carry-in area of the paper discharge device. Having. The pivots are formed on rollers which collide with each other, so that the leg spreads at an angle from above to below in order to detect the thickness of the printed product that has been transported. That is, these rollers belonging to the two swing arms fulfill the function of the hinge point. In this case, these rollers rotate in opposite directions by a predetermined angle amount when the legs are opened. An open leg for detecting the thickness of the unloaded printed product can be achieved such that the plurality of swiveling arms operating in pairs can open parallel to each other. For reasons of stability, this is a prerequisite that the two ends of these pivot arms are attracted, in particular, in each case by one elastic element.

  The mutually adjusted openings of the plurality of swiveling arms, which are added by the carry-in rollers incorporated on the print product side, are preset by the corresponding rotation of the cam plate. In this case, these pivoting arms occupy a stable position, since springs which exert a force on the cam plate are arranged on the end side in the region of the carry-in roller. Accordingly, each of the swivel arms associated with the printed product is such that the respective aperture associated with the printed product forms a free space between these carry-in rollers that perfectly matches the measured thickness of the printed product. Opening is stabilized. In this case, this perfect adjustment causes a clamping action from the ejector performed on the detected printed product by the elastic force to occur after the occurring collision. In this case, it must be taken into account that this completely free width between the plurality of input rollers, which operate in combination over the entire input area of the output device for the effective thickness of the respective printed product, is to grip the printed product. In that it does not potentially exert excessive clamping force. That is, if the excessive tightening force is exerted, the performed gripping of the printed product may be compromised by the plurality of carry-in rollers during a collision process from the ejector.

  Another operating mechanism of the present invention for gripping a printed product by the above-described loading roller is that a plurality of swivel arms can be opened in each cycle by an effective thickness of the printed product, and tightened to the printed product. The force is applied by a spring, the displacement of which is limited by the occupied position of the cam plate. Thus, the gripping of the printed product due to the collision process can be achieved not by performing full adjustment of the free width of the plurality of carry-in rollers, but by the elastic force applied in the lateral direction. obtain.

  In the event of a jam, for example, the cam plate, which is particularly locked, must be removed so that the plurality of pivot arms can still be pivoted. In addition, the equipment includes optical sensors such as photo cells, camera systems and the like. As a result, the position of the printed product in the conveyor belt of the delivery device can always be detected and tracked and evaluated on the way to the subsequently arranged cutting device. As a result, the correction regarding the state of these carry-in rollers can be continuously performed. Such an adjustment and this adjustment step can be performed essentially in an "on-the-fly" mode. In this case, in some cases, only the speed of the collection chain can be adjusted.

  In general, the command data of the MIS (see definition list) or the command data of only one command data system is composed of the format data of the individual signatures, the format data of the printed product such as the width and length to be cut, and the predetermined data. And any other data that is required for the current job or is required as the case may be. As already explained, the controller calculates the thickness of each printed product from the data of the individual signatures. In addition, the main controller is loaded with an algorithm that can obtain values relevant to any production of the equipment. In particular, the main controller can calculate a value that is suitable for controlling the mutual free width of the plurality of input rollers. This is performed in particular by a servomotor acting mechanically on the cam plate.

  Thus, the command data of the MIS (see definition list) or the command data of only one command data system triggers, among other things, the stored control profile. The control profile includes, in particular, format data of individual signatures, such as width and length to be cut, and format data of book bindings and other data. This other data is needed to properly execute the job. In particular, the main controller also includes an algorithm for continuously calculating the bookbinding thickness from the production of individual signatures.

  At the time of setting up a new job and during the subsequent operation, the loading of the discharge device preset by the plurality of loading rollers is performed depending on the thickness of the print product. As a result, the correct width of freedom is set for each production cycle. The adjustment position of these input rollers belonging to the output device can be monitored by sensors such as photocells, camera systems or similar systems, and can be adjusted afterwards by the controller during fluctuations during the "on-the-fly" mode. When a jam is recognized, these carry-in rollers move as wide as possible. When the monitoring device recognizes that Doppelabuzz is being performed, the carry-in rollers are opened moderately to compensate for these thickness differences. If the printed product has a difference in thickness from one part of the printed product to the other, relative to the symmetry of the fold, these carry-in rollers are used to control this new starting position. open. When an imperfect printed product is recognized, the rolling of these input rollers is adjusted according to the values measured by the thickness control. If an incomplete printed product is recognized and the thickness has not been measured, but the controller is connected to the MIS, the value can be calculated. Based on values known from the MIS (thickness of individual signatures), the correct width of the rolling (thickness of the printed product) can be adjusted.

  The main advantage of the described equipment (inlet roller with accessories) as a component of the paper ejection device is that the adjustment is made in one by combining a cam plate and an autonomous drive (step motor or servomotor). It is possible to execute from a production cycle to the next production cycle. In this case, of course, time-critical steps can be considered. The thickness adjustment is set symmetrically about the center of the collection chain. This symmetrical thickness adjustment is carried out by two independently pivoted pivot arms and one double cam plate. At the time of error printing of the signatures (Fehlabzuegen), the thickness of the printed product can be calculated by a thickness measuring device, or if the erroneous signatures are known, their thickness values can be obtained from the MIS. Obtained and the device is precisely adjusted with these values. No additional drive or pneumatic cylinder is required, as in known systems. Similarly, in the event of a jam, the carry-in rollers are fully opened without the need for additional drives or cylinders. See the configuration in the immediately preceding paragraph for what applies to the case of asymmetric thickness of printed products.

In summary, the invention relates in particular to an installation designed as a binding machine. This binding machine mainly includes a transport chain formed in a roof shape in an upper region. One or more printed products, in particular formed by signatures, can be transported along this transport chain in a horse-riding manner, collected and bound in an optional intermediate binding station,
In the direction of transport of the printed product, following the binding station, along the further extension of the transport chain, a stop, which is adjustable according to the format of the printed product, comprising one or more signatures is arranged. Have been. By means of a stop which is operatively connected to the interdependent means, a regular and fixed delivery of the printed product takes place. A first means for regularly receiving a printed product comprising one or more signatures when unloading comprises a paper output device. In this case, the paper discharging device has a device configured to first receive the conveyed print product in the carry-in area. The device is capable of adjusting the respective measured thickness of the printed product.

  The device has two pivoting arms, each pivotally symmetrically supported on opposite sides of the carry-in portion of the paper output device and operating in spaced pairs. In this case, the paired separation of the plurality of pivot arms is carried out by a single cam plate which is arranged in the middle and double extends. The spacing causes the pivoting arms to open their pivot arms, depending on the respective measured thickness of the unloaded printed product. The ends of these pivoting arms, which extend substantially horizontally, are connected to one another and have a plurality of carry-in rollers over the carry-in area of the delivery device. These carry-in rollers grasp and carry the printed product that has been carried out. Further, the plurality of carry-in rollers which operate in the same manner are operatively connected to one elastic element via these turning arms. These feed-in rollers are clamped together by this elastic element within the range of the opening leg which is preset by a cam plate depending on the respective thickness of the printed product that has been discharged. This opening of these swiveling arms therefore depends on the thickness of the printed product that has been transported. In this case, these carry-in rollers apply a clamping force to the printed product by the elastic element.

  The open leg for detecting the thickness of the conveyed printed product is performed by an opening angled from above to below. That is, both rollers belonging to the plurality of pivot arms act as hinge points. The rollers rotate in opposite directions by a predetermined angle. Also, an opening leg for detecting the thickness of the unloaded print product can be achieved, such that these infeed rollers operating in pairs open parallel to each other. For reasons of stability, this is a prerequisite that the two ends of these pivot arms are attracted, in particular, in each case by one elastic element.

  The device itself has equipment not shown in detail. Depending on the respective measured thickness of the printed product to be unloaded, the equipment may optionally be adjusted laterally to perform positioning with respect to the thickness symmetry of the printed product to be unloaded. Execute This adapted adjustment is only taken into account if necessary, and the adjustment is precisely controlled, in particular during the operation of the plurality of pivot arms for detecting the thickness of the printed product. .

  A second means for regularly discharging the printed product comprising one or more signatures comprises an ejector. In this case, the print product having the fixed format is supplied to the sheet discharging device and, in particular, to the cutting device. During the removal of the printed product, the direction is changed by only 90 ° or approximately 90 ° with respect to the transport direction of the transport chain.

  The adjustable stop has a stop surface comprising one or more signatures oriented in the direction of transport of the printed product, the stop surface being positioned relative to the leading edge of the unloaded printed product. Then, when the print product is carried out, the adjusted stopper function and alignment function are executed. To avoid collisions due to transport, the collecting chain has a plurality of pinchable transport fingers for transporting together a printed product comprising one or more signatures.

  The paper ejection device has a plurality of conveyor belts acting in tandem, the conveyor belts being operatively connected to an ejector arranged behind a fold line of the printed product, the conveyor belts comprising: Further unloading of the printed product is performed.

In the following, the invention will be described with reference to the drawings, with respect to details not specified in detail above. For clarity all non-essential elements of the invention have been omitted and the same components have been designated with the same reference numerals in different drawings.

FIG. 2 is an overall view of a sheet discharging device having a driven stopper. 1 is an overall view of a binding machine having a control function / adjustment function with a stopper highlighted. 4 shows an ejector operatively connected to the paper ejection device. 1 is an overall view of a binding machine having control / adjustment functions, highlighting devices that can be adjusted according to the thickness of the printed product. FIG. 1 is an overall view of a binding device emphasizing a sheet discharging device. 2 shows a paper ejection device and an ejector including the device. 1 shows a paper ejection device having the components of the device. 4 illustrates the operation of a swing arm.

  FIG. 1 is an overall view of a binding machine 100. Primarily, such a binding machine consists of a centrally operated collecting chain 110, which undertakes the transport of signatures 200 or book bindings 600. Such a collecting chain 110 has a guide arrangement with an upper section, is formed in a pointed shape, i.e. in a roof-like manner, and the cutting edge of this section defines a conveying section and a staple line. On this line, the signature 200 is conveyed in a horse-riding manner. Individual signatures are processed into a stapled book in the stapler 120. The signatures sit on a saddle-shaped collection chain, and the signatures are conveyed from this direction to the stopper 160. Before reaching the stopper 160 between the stapler 120 and the downstream paper output device 130, the entraining member (not shown in detail in the drawing) incorporated in the collecting chain is folded back and The linking member acts on the trailing edge of the signature and insures correct transport of the signature in an operative connection with the collection chain, so that the entrainment member then, with the subsequent movement of the collection chain, Can slide under

  In this way, the signatures bound in the temporary binding book are not directly tangent by the entraining member in the final transport phase, but only by the friction induced by the saddle-shaped collecting chain or by the stopping force. It is realized that it can be further transported. In this case, the induced kinematics to individual signatures, or to bookbinding books in general, are also important in this final phase, i.e. the printed product opens between the stapler and the delivery device and the As a result, the folded entrainer can pass under the printed product without problems. This is also particularly useful if the printed product has to be delayed during ejector implementation.

The stapler itself, not shown in detail, comprises staples of wire, which belong to the prior art, wherein the wire is bent in a first step into a downward acting U-shape, the U-shape being: It is best suited for penetrating and subsequently bending the book binding. This step is performed by at least one stapler head, which cuts and positions the staple wire and shapes the wire into staples. In the binding process itself, it is important that at least one staple penetrates a temporary binding book and is closed at another end. The components of the stapler further form one binding carriage, on which the stapler head is mounted, in which the printed products are already mentioned during the running of the binding carriage. Bound by staples.
The stopper 160 with the preset stop surface 170 is used to transfer the mentioned printed product to the delivery device 130, from which it is transferred via the product feed 140 into the cutting device 150. Before the signature 200 or the bound book 600, the final status of transport on the collection chain is formed. The cutting device 150 functions as a cutting system, which makes use of a front blade and two horizontal blades in particular, and performs a cutting process consisting of front cutting and top cutting as continuous cutting. .

  In particular, the stopper 160 operated by the servomotor 161 satisfies a multiplex function with respect to the final positioning of the temporary binding book 600, that is, the stopper itself determines a firm stopper position with respect to the transported temporary binding book. Execute in the final state. However, this is not only in the conventional method as a solid stop station. That is, in the horizontal transport operation, the temporary binding book is not transported to the wall in front of the stopper, and is completely stopped there. The function of the bookbinding leading edge in the transport direction to serve as an alignment aid for tilting or rollover of the same bookbinding book during the further dynamic transfer of the bookbinding book into the delivery device. Fulfill. In this way, the stopper fulfills a dual function by its special form of formation and in the operative connection with the controlled transport of the booklet, this function being provided in the area of the stopper, in the horizontal / overlapping of the booklet. Characterized by vertical movement.

  These layered movements must be interpreted as follows: On the other hand, there is a horizontal movement of the bookbinding, preset by the collection chain, and the kinetic energy is then completely and suddenly reduced by the stopper. As soon as possible, the booklet is ejected from the collecting chain by the ejector and is caught by the locally acting auxiliary device of the delivery device, without being destroyed.

During this time interval heading towards zero, the bound book transported in the horizontal direction still has a minimized remanent magnetic velocity, which will be satisfied by the final match satisfied and the subsequent bound booklet. Sliding of the leading edge is realized along the wall of the stopper. Thus, the positioning of the dynamically adaptable stop occupied by the signatures which are pulled in from time to time is also conditional on speed.
The vertical sliding of the front edge of the temporary binding book during the transition of the temporary binding book into the paper ejection device along the wall of the stopper causes a possible tilting of the temporary binding book. Does not happen, and as a result, the bound book shows perfect format alignment in subsequent truncation.

  In this way, in the final phase of the bookbinding positioning, an adjusted, control-guided interdependence exists between the horizontal transport of the bookbinding and the vertical transition of the bookbinding, and the stopper is subsequently described as already described. Perform a dual function. That is, on the one hand, the final position of the bookbinding book is guaranteed, and on the other hand, the possible tilting during the vertical unloading of the bookbinding book is taken into account. The stopper thus also receives a recoil that can lead to the overturning moment of the bookbinding, so that the bookbinding can no longer tilt thereafter. This process is operatively associated with a blade as a component of an ejector located below the collecting chain, which blade is described in more detail below.

From FIG. 2, the paper ejection device 130 is created in an operative connection with the stopper 160 driven 161 by the motor described above. The delivery device is embodied as a machine component, which supplies a signature, a bound book, or generally a printed product, to a product feed after the binding station (see FIG. 1, Pos. 140). ), The sheet is conveyed to a cutting device (see FIG. 1, Pos. 150). In the delivery device itself, the transport-direction change takes place via the conveyor belt 131 in a particularly regular manner, which depends on the stationary position of the cutting device. The actuating stopper 160 defines, in principle, the horizontal final position of the bound book with respect to the unloading performed by the paper output device, the paper output device being operatively connected with the ejector (see FIG. 4). The position ensures that the discharge always takes place in the middle of the auxiliary means, that is to say the conveyor belt 131 arranged next to the paper discharge device, which operates independently of the small format 202 or the large format 201 of the bound booklet. Always strictly oriented to things.
FIG. 3 shows essentially the same binding machine as FIG. This equipment is complemented by the main control systems, the data of these control systems being transmitted to the control unit 400, which again communicates 401 with the MIS system 410. This control includes the speed of the collection chain 110 flowing from all the aggregates involved in the processing of the print product, especially with respect to the transport chain, the stoppers, the paper ejector ejector, and the ad-hoc format-dependent operation of the print product. It is responsible for processing all data and subsequently for the correct adjustment of all aggregates. The flow of operation data collection for the control unit 400 shown here should not be interpreted as an essential assumption (numerus Clausus). The optical control system 310 in the area of the stop surface 320 of the stop 160 is of primary importance, this control system transferring the acquired information 311 to the control 400.

Thereafter, a continuous inquiry of the ejector 500 continues, and the information 501 of the ejector is also transferred to the control unit 400. Further, the tool 300 performs a continuous thickness measurement 301 of the signature. Further understanding of data regarding operation may be performed, for example, for stapler 120. In addition, the control unit 400 is operatively connected to the MIS (management information system) 410 in the mutual data flow system 401, and the system 410 is capable of executing the concept "Industry 4.0" in the printing industry, for example, "Finishing 4.0" It is publicly known in relation to names such as “Print 4.0” or “Web to Print”. This essentially implies a digital transformation of the IT field and of the manufacturing technology. In order to solve the problem, a MIS system (management information system) 410 is particularly used.
From these collected data and continuous process monitoring, the setting and running of the aggregates involved in the binding machine process is guaranteed. Intuitively essential adjustments can be maintained by the stored control profile. The main controller may perform the adjustments according to adaptive principles, and the main controller may also provide pradaiktive / anticipiable adjustments.
From FIG. 4, an ejector device 500 is produced, which is operatively connected to the delivery device 130 described above. The operation method of the ejector 500 is as follows.

  First, the blade-shaped member 503 stays in the neutral position (“Pos. Null”) below the sheet discharging device 130. Here, the blade-shaped member 503 connected to the ejector slide 502 is on standby, and first forms a constituent member of the ejector. The ejector slide 502 has, in particular, an autonomous drive force, and upon arrival of the command “Trigger”, the induction of the kinematics of the movement is initiated. When the ejector 500 is viewed as an aggregate as a whole, the operation starts at a "trigger" position in order to transport the printed product into the output device as generally as possible as unchanged as possible. This "trigger" point depends mainly on the speed of the collection chain, the speed of the product format, and possibly manual corrections so that the subsequent phase is started. This depends on whether a defined or always freely definable speed threshold is exceeded or below.

  Above the speed threshold, the speed of the movable members 502, 503 of the ejector 500 is directed to the speed of the collection chain or to the speed of the conveyor belt belonging to the delivery. That is, as the speed of the collection chain is increased, the ejector moves upwards accordingly. If the speed of the collection chain is reduced, the ejector will necessarily move slower.

  Below the speed threshold, the movement course is unchanged. Thereby, the minimum speed of the ejector is defined in order to constantly guarantee the movement of the signature to the conveyor belt of the delivery device.

With respect to the stroke movement of the ejector, the following positioning must be distinguished:
The ejector first moves to a point called “Pos. Oben”. This “Pos.Oven” is a turning point on the edge 503 from which the position “Pos.Unten” is aimed at a defined or always freely definable speed.
"Pos. Unten" is the turning point below the blade, from which the position "Pos. Null" is aimed at a defined or always freely definable speed.

  Thus, the blade 503 of the ejector 500 or the slide 502 of this blade occupies three fixed positions, which are of a predefined length or are always freely defined. That is, "Pos. Oben" is the highest position of the blade, and this position likewise forms a turning point of the blade, at which point the signature is moved to the conveyor belt of the delivery. Is completed. "Pos. Unten" is the lowest point of the blade as a turning point, up to which point the blade, i.e. on the collecting chain, sinks so as not to collide with the subsequent drawn signature. “Pos. Null” indicates a neutral position, from which the blade starts to function at the next signature.

  FIG. 5 shows substantially the same components as in FIG. 1 including another configuration of the present invention by an apparatus 700 capable of controlling the thickness of a discharged printed product. This device 700 is driven by a motor 800 that is data connected to main controller 400. Except for this, the configuration is the same as that of FIG.

  FIG. 6 is substantially the same as FIG. In this case, the position of the paper output device 130 with the device 700 according to the invention can be seen from FIG.

  FIG. 7 shows a combined delivery device 130 and ejector 500 operatively coupled to each other. The details of the structure of the paper ejection device are shown in FIG. 2, while the structure of the ejector 500 is shown in FIG. Further, it can be seen from FIG. 6 that the sheet discharging device 130 has plates 710 and 711 arranged laterally to support the horizontal shafts 722 and 732. Further details can be seen from FIG.

  8 and 9 show an advantageous structure of the device 700. In this case, the detection of the thickness (601) of the printed product to be carried out is executed at the start point. The controller (see FIG. 5) is configured such that this thickness can potentially or actually change or differ from one production cycle to another. Therefore, a difference in thickness, which is important for detecting the print product by the sheet discharging device 130, is detected during the job. A preset tolerance is taken into account by the control device. The thickness distribution can be beneficially managed by the MIS (see definition list). In this case, the thickness of the printed product itself can be calculated from the number of signatures and the thickness of the signature.

  The device 700 has two pivoting arms 720, 730; 721, 731 that are symmetrically supported on both sides of the carry-in area 790 of the sheet discharging device 130 and operate in pairs that are separated from each other. In this case, the paired separation of the plurality of swiveling arms is performed by a single cam plate 750 that is disposed in the middle and double extends. The spacing causes the pivoting arms to open their pivot arms, depending on the respective measured thickness (601) of the unloaded print product. The ends of these swiveling arms, which extend substantially horizontally, have a plurality of input rollers 760n, 770n coupled to one another and throughout the input area 790 of the paper output device 130. These carry-in rollers grip and transport the unloaded print product regardless of the format size of the print product. Accordingly, these carry-in rollers 760n and 770n cover the entire carry-in area of the paper discharge device, and are provided between a plurality of opposed swing arms, that is, between the swing arm 720 and the swing arm 721, and between the swing arm 720 and the swing arm 730. It is supported on connecting shafts 761 and 762 between the arm 731. Thereby, these carry-in rollers allow the clamping force to be reduced within the range of the opening leg preset by the cam plate 750 depending on the respective measured thickness of the carried out print product, in order to carry out the print product to be carried out. , These infeed rollers are indirectly operatively connected to elastic elements 780 located at the end sides of these pivot arms.

  The swing arms 130720, 730; 721, 731 are respectively opened on both sides of the operating carry-in width of the paper discharge device 130 depending on the thickness of the carried out print product. In this case, the carry-in rollers 760n and 770n apply a tightening force to the print product by an operative connection between the carry-in rollers and the elastic element 780. FIG. 9 shows a pair of revolving arms on one side of the sheet discharging device. In this case, a further roller and the associated conveyor belt 132 of the delivery device 130 are also shown schematically. Together, they guarantee further transfer of the printed product. In this case, individual carry-in rollers 760, 770 are shown.

  The leg opening for detecting the thickness of the discharged printed product may be performed at an angle from above to below. That is, both rollers 741 and 742 belonging to the turning arms 720 and 730 act as hinge points 740 that rotate in opposite directions by a predetermined angle when the legs are opened. An open leg for detecting the thickness of the unloaded print product may be achieved such that the plurality of swiveling arms operating in pairs can open parallel to each other. It can be seen from FIG. 9 what clamping process is particularly considered in connection with the illustrated double-extending cam plate 750. Each pivot arm 720, 730 supports, in particular, in each case one contact bolt 751, 752 in the plane of symmetry of the cam plate on each side. The contact bolts 751, 752 cause the pivot arms to open along the contour of the cam plate by rotation of the cam plate.
